Question 8
If you burn oil, a chemical change takes place. The oil reacts with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water. If you could trap those products, you would not be able to reverse the reaction and turn them back into oil.
However, there is a way to make oil from carbon dioxide and water. Think about the oils you know—mineral oil made from plants that died millions of years ago, or palm oil or sunflower oil made from plants. How do plants make oil?
